NGD !!! Custom 22 ten top

[danktat]

So, after a stressful shipping mishap, Morgan is finally here. First off, these pix and video are from Facebook, so the time stamp may not last too long and they may disappear after a couple of days. If so, I will post the pix elsewhere and edit the original post to update the pix and video.

So, it came in slightly above "very good" which was what was listed in the ad. There were a couple of nicks [the usual, headstock, back edge, etc] that I had to hunt for to find. That high e saddle adjustment screw was loose [I have lost one in the past not paying attention to that] but I tightened it up. It came in set up and intonated properly. Case candy. Still had the sticker in the case that comes from the factory. It is a bit "redder" than it was in the original ad pix, but still SMOKIN' hot! Anyway. Blah blah blah.....here are the pix.

Thanks for looking

Congrats! I really like how the top looks, especially in the video - has some great character to it and isn't just a straight-ahead flame or quilt. Almost a woolly look to it. I'm sure that imparts some extra grit/edge to the tone

Absolutely killer! That top hides the book match really well, looks like a one piece top at a glance, and I really like that. The pre-2008 birds are a nice touch, too!

Congrats! That is a nice one. I love that top. Yours has the same electronics and finish as my 06 CU22 10 top.

The modcat says it was a five way rotary. So that must have been replaced. But I prefer the three way and coil taps anyway.

I bought mine new and picked one with the three way on purpose. Mine is essentially a McCarty with locking tuners and slightly thinner body.
